I loved the interpretation of the book. It was really well done and the climax scene was intense.
Great movie, beautifully done, the boy, Leo is such a wonderful actor and so is the "old" Leo, a perfect match.
I loved this beautiful film, all the actors, wonderful editing of scenes, and the way that tragedy was played out to the end. It was brilliant to set it up with Leo remembering that summer, and meeting the older Marion. The musical score was incredibly moving. Having not been aware a 1971 version to compare it to, this one is definitive for me. But now I'd like to see that one.
the 1971 version was good but did not get into the later psyche of Leo as an old man trying to revisit that time in his life. All you saw was old Leo visiting Julie Christie as the old Marian. she did all of the talking and then he saw Marians grandson, and then the last shot was he was in a car and he looked out to the mansion but he did not get out. The End. Vanessa Redgrave's father Michael Redgrave played the old Leo in the 1971 version
Loved this Adrian Hodges version especially at the beginning of the movie when old Leo is talking to himself as a child and then the fantastic end when old Leo is walking towards the mansion and that lovely drone overhead shot of him walking toward the mansion
I actually prefer the Leo of the 1971 version. He really looks like a thirteen-year old, whereas young Leo in the new version looks more like a ten-year old.
@@hubertvancalenbergh9022 Agreed completely.....the original Leo is infinitely better. a 10 yr old can't have those feelings for 'Marion'.
"Loves him completely with every fibre of her being", "a tragedy they can't be together", "an escape..." Balderdash! As far as authentic all-consuming "love" is concerned, there was no kind of legal impediment to an Edwardian lady from an upper crust family eloping with a a farmer, was there? Oh sure, it would have meant huge loss of social status, and not least the wealthy and privileged lifestyle to which she was accustomed. But if she wasn't prepared to give that up, then how much was this "every-fibre-of-her-being love" actually worth? No, what this story depicts is an absolutely classic case of a shallow person wanting both to have the cake and to eat it - with pretty scant regard for the damage caused to all others involved.
Just finished reading the book and I agree with you there. She even calls Ted weak at the end after everything
You're quite right of course. She loved the passion and the sex. She wanted it both ways, the status of being Lady Trimmingham, and the physical passion she only got with Ted. In old age, Lady Trimmingham was still not taking responsibility for her misdemeanours, but her Grandson appeared to have a sense that she was bewitched, and that he had inherited the curse. Leo's life was pretty much stymied by these events, as she enjoyed pointing out, though you have to read the book to get a better idea of that. Hugh was cuckholded and Ted killed himself to protect her honour. I don't think she had any redeeming features herself, but all around her perished or were diminished.........
That tragedy scene was something else in this 2015 version. The 1971 version was not that graphic. That sex scene was somewhat wooden in the first version but in the second one- no holes barred. My question is why her mother was so hysterical when she saw her daughter in an embrace with naked Ted That scene with Viscount Trimingham just standing by the tree to watch this whole sordid scenario unfold- he was cool as a cucumber- while Marian's mother is an absolute lunatic
That's what I was confused by......her hysterical reaction was weird and the entire movie had a creepy vibe to it
@@gee2541 Iv'e not seen the second, but the first film has Leo make '' Magic'' with the Belladonna...Maybe the eerie vibe is purposeful?
@@Oakleaf700 yeah maybe but it was very strange and I didn’t like it. I like when films are different and explore complex themes but I felt disgusted at the fact that none of the characters acknowledged the deep trauma they inflicted on this young child. the ending was so unsatisfactory.
@@gee2541 I haven't watched the re-make, but loved the first one.
As a child {11} when I watched it, /I didn't really understand the ending until I watched it as an adult. The 'Curse' part. Reading the book really helped, too.I understood Leo to be totally in love with Marion, but in an innocent way.. { Kids have ''Crushes without understanding why..}
I understood Leo's shock at seeing them in the outbuilding, but maybe need to see the new remake.
The thundery weather and the Belladonna. the gunshot &c...So atmospheric.
I was surprised to learn the book was written quite late..I'd assumed it to have been in Edwardian times.
@@Oakleaf700 I haven’t seen the original but I believe the remake made some scenes more graphic and disturbing so perhaps that’s why I was put off by it. It was tragic to see that a young boy’s entire life was influenced by a traumatic summer that no one ever recognized. everyone except him were incredibly selfish characters imo.
M'mmmm nice. She's a real beauty all right, very talented ,but underused. She needs more big film break exposures.
The original Go Between is a more beautiful film.
One can never improve on the original. The actors were so wonderful.
unfortunately this movie didn't get the popularity that it deserves
This actress has no idea of what she's talking about, Marian could have gone with love and passion, or with status, but she was obviously choosing the latter and going with both until discovered. No wonder this BBC production was a pale imitation of Joseph Losey's masterpiece. Another slice of licence fee payers money wasted on a pointless copycat exercise that fell flat............
